UNA VIDA


Tócala: no se encogerá como pupila

esta rareza oviforme, clara como una lágrima.

He aquí ayer, el año pasado: palmiforme lanza,

azucena, como flora distinta

de un tapiz en la quieta urdimbre vasta.


Toca este vaso con los dedos: sonará

como campana china al mínimo temblor del aire

aunque nadie lo note o se anime a contestar.

Los indígenas, como el corcho graves,

todos ocupadísimos para siempre jamás.


A sus pies las olas, en fila india,

no reventando nunca de irritación, se inclinan:

en el aire se atascan,

frenan, caracolean como caballos en plaza de armas.

Las nubes enarboladas y orondas, encima.


Como almohadones victorianos. Esta familia

de rostros habituales, a un coleccionista,

por auténtica, como porcelana buena, gustaría.


En otros lugares el paisaje es más franco.

Las luces mueren súbitas, cegadoramente.


Una mujer arrastra, circular, su sombra, de un calvo

platillo de hospital en torno, parece

la luna o una cuartilla de papel intacto.

Se diría que ha sufrido una particular guerra relámpago.

Vive silente.


Y sin vínculos, cual feto en frasco, la casa

anticuada, el mar, plano como una postal,

que una dimensión de más le impide penetrar.

Dolor y cólera neutralizadas,

ahora déjala en paz.


El porvenir es una gaviota gris, charla

con voz felina de adioses, partida.

Edad y miedo, como enfermeras, la cuidan,

y un ahogado, quejándose del frío, se agazapa

saliendo a la orilla.

 I.  El hueso, el cartílago; el beso de leña; el horno de ladrillo

II.  Armar los barcos, serrar los muelles

III.  Hacer señales con los brazos -como una bandera

IV.  La bomba, el martinete, la gran torre de perforación

V.  Las minas de carbón y todo lo que está ahí abajo

VI.  Musicar la lámina, colocar las tejas

    Trabajar el hierro, soplar el vidrio: Fabricar los clavos

VII. Los bastos pensamientos

Innatos

Asomándose en las caras vacías A

VIII. Curar las casas. Medir, aserrar los maderos

IX. Las lámparas en la oscuridad, ecos, canciones, cualquier meditación

X. Altos hornos, fuegos forjadores y montañas

    O junto a las riberas de los ríos.

The mine-workers.


Los mineros salieron de la mina
remontando sus ruinas venideras,
fajaron su salud con estampidos
y, elaborando su función mental,
cerraron con sus voces
el socavón, en forma de síntoma profundo.

¡Era de ver sus polvos corrosivos!
¡Era de oír sus óxidos de altura!

Cuñas de boca, yunques de boca, aparatos de boca (¡Es formidable!)
